Next Meetup

August. Summer's gotten long. The kids aren't back to school yet. People are taking vacations. It's hot. Tech meetups lag.
We have the antidote for these summer doldrums! CloudAustin's Twelve Clouds of Christmas and Dog Days of DevOps are our semiannual festive events.
We'll have a dozen (or more) 5 minute lightning demos/talks delivered by all of you! Email ([masked]) or comment below with your name and the talk's title and 1-sentence blurb to get on the list. Any cloudy, devopsey, containery, high-tech-y talk or demo is welcome.
Other user groups are invited to join us, just email us or comment below and tell us you're in, then advertise the meeting on your own meetup or whatever.
Sponsors are welcome! At 12 Clouds we have a food sponsor, treat sponsor, one or more booze sponsors, and people who have drawings for door prizes. So encourage your organization to sponsor and get goodwill from a big bunch of the best techies in the ATX.

What we're about

CloudAustin (http://cloudaust.in) is a community for practitioners interested in learning and sharing about their experiences with cloud computing, DevOps, containerization, and other cutting edge technology architecture and practice.

We've been around for over 6 years. Our meetings are open to all, and has a mix of developers, systems/ops/DevOps, other technical (security, QA), sales and marketing, and product development folks attending regularly.

We have monthly meetings (free admission, and we try to get sponsors to buy food for us) on the third Tuesday evening of the month. We are always looking for volunteers to speak or demo at the meetings and for sponsors to buy the food; email austin-cug-admin@googlegroups.com to contact the coordinators!
